Chapter 819 Chapter 819

Aiden made a subtle hand gesture behind his back. He and Meredith knew that someone like Felix, who would not even acknowledge his own father, would never respect the Greene family's authority.

They had not really brought him here to treat Meredith's condition-their true intention was to eliminate Felix. The Greene family had always been ruthless-if someone could not be controlled, what was the point of letting them live? This was especially true since Felix carried Greene blood but refused to serve the family's interests.

However, Felix's Dragon Knight status complicated matters. Since it was an official position appointed by headquarters, killing such a person would mean directly opposing the organization-something even the Greene family could not afford. "What do you think you're doing, Felix?" Aiden asked with a barely concealed smirk.

He had deliberately used Felix's friends to provoke him into attacking first, which would give the Greene family legitimate grounds for retaliation-something even headquarters could not dispute.

Felix was smart enough to see through Aiden's provocations, but what choice did he have? Could he really stand by while his friends were threatened?

With the Shadow Mask, he could always eliminate these Greene family members and start a new life under a different identity.

Just as he was about to make his move, the sound of helicopter blades cut through the air. Everyone looked up to see a helicopter rapidly approaching before landing in the courtyard.

"A headquarters helicopter?" Aiden frowned, recognizing it immediately.

This interruption would make it difficult to provoke Felix again, but why would anyone from headquarters show up after they had already handled things?

Xena stepped out of the helicopter and walked straight to Felix's side, first greeting Meredith. "Mrs. Greene Senior."

Despite her annoyance, Meredith smiled faintly. "Ah, the Phoenix Warlord. This is our first meeting, isn't it? What brings you to the Greene family estate?"

Xena's careful approach showed her recognition of the Greene family's influence. "There's an urgent mission requiring Felix's presence. We couldn't reach him, so I came personally. I need to take him with me now-I trust that won't be a problem?" Meredith narrowed her eyes, realizing she had underestimated Xena. In just a few words, Xena had left no room for objection. After all, who would dare interfere with an urgent headquarters mission?

"Of course, national matters take priority. Please forgive me for not seeing you out properly due to my condition," Meredith replied smoothly

Xena shot Felix a warning glare before heading back to the helicopter.

After the helicopter departed, Aiden asked, "Grandma, should we proceed with our original plans?"

Meredith contemplated for a moment before responding, "Let's not rush. Felix's confidence just now, though mostly fueled by anger, suggests that your earlier assessment of his power level was incorrect." Aiden frowned, realizing she had a point.
